Remarried with ChildrenBook Description
It's
the most daunting task many parents will ever face: bringing two
growing families together into one brand new marriage. But even though
statistics show that most remarriages are at high risk–especially when
there are kids involved–more and more people are learning how to make
them work and more and more kids are coming out of them with their
psyches and souls intact. This honest and hopeful book looks at those
successes–and at some failures–to show what they have in common: ten
essential secrets that are at the heart of a healthy blended family.

As
a stepparent with six children in a blended family, Barbara LeBey draws
on her own family's hard-won success, as well as on extensive
interviews and new research to show how to navigate the stresses,
sticking points, pitfalls and perils most couples don't even
anticipate. Starting with her first controversial secret–that the new
marriage comes first, even before the demands of the children–LeBey
debunks prevalent stepfamily myths and anticipates common traps. (Among
them, money issues, warring stepsiblings, and destructive exes.) A
strong advocate for children (including how to guard against fade-out
parenting), she also suggests ways that in-laws, schools, and the legal
system itself could provide better support for blended families.
REmarried with Children is an expert, compassionate, down-to-earth book
to turn to over and over again for advice, support and sanity.
